Rock n' Roll Doggie
As a Christian, I believe in the power of prayer and fasting. The more people pray, the better, as there is strength in numbers. I'm not saying that God gives priority to large groups of people who pray, it's up to Him to decide to answer prayers, be it individual prayers or prayers said by many in one voice. However, I do think that He is laying His hand on every person in the city and loving them. I think that if we pray for healing and love in Jesus's name, our prayers will definitely be answered. I have fasted, too, before, as an expression of my earnestness to get my prayers answered, and it has worked.
Anyway, starting tomorrow, I'm going to fast for healing, comfort and strength in America. And perhaps if I can find enough humility and understanding in myself, to pray for the terrorists too (as well as rejoicing Palestinians).
I know it is not usual practice for one to openly proclaim that one is fasting (it's supposed to be hush-hush and quiet), but this is a call to people who are Christian, Catholic or people who just feel compelled to do something - trust me, this way, you are helping them. You may be too far away to donate blood, but by prayer, you can help 100 times more even when you're on the other side of the globe.
For people planning to fast, you may decide to do it in various ways: either skip one/two meals, or eat breakfast early, skip lunch and break your fast at around 8pm. It is advised that you continue consuming water throughout the day, though. Fasting is not just a matter of skipping meals, by the way. You are encouraged to spend the time instead in prayer or meditating on God's Word (Bible).
Thanks.
